Instructions

1. 1.
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced sweet potato in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until well-coated. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20 minutes, or until the cubes become tender and slightly caramelized. You'll know they're done when they are fork-tender with golden edges.
2. 2.
   While the sweet potato is roasting, bring 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa to life by dressing it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a dash of salt. Fluff with a fork to separate the grains, which should be plump and fragrant. This serves as the hearty base of your bowl.
3. 3.
   In a small bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes with the balsamic vinegar. Stir them gently to ensure they absorb the tangy flavors. Allow the mixture to sit for at least 5 minutes, which results in a beautifully marinated and slightly softened tomato.
4. 4.
   Once the sweet potatoes are ready, mix them with the cooked quinoa and marinated tomatoes in a large bowl. Stir gently to keep the ingredients intact, allowing the flavors to meld together. The combination of sweet potatoes' creaminess with the juicy tomatoes will create a delightful texture contrast.
5. 5.
   Serve your vibrant fusion warm, ensuring each spoonful includes a bit of every ingredient. If any adjustments are needed in terms of seasoning, feel free to add a pinch more salt or a drizzle of olive oil to enhance the flavors. Enjoy this nutrient-packed bowl that balances sweetness with a subtle acidity.
